Bhakt still doesn't answer the question- why should a monopoly supplier care two hoots about anyone's commitment? A move that no one from US to Russia to China does, only it and its great leader will be able to do.

(1) KSA does not have monopoly over Oil.

(2) There is oversupply in market. Only country that would get anally raped due to sanctions is KSA as others would be glad to fill in its space to improve their flagging revenue. Also, OPEC could not cut supplies because renewable energy sources and Shale have become competitive, and any sharp increase in price would lead to oil substitution at a faster rate than now, and reopen marginal Shale fields.

(3) Arabs are solely dependent on Oil revenue to finance their budget

(4) India is a big consumer, and there is no one in the world which could pick up Indian demand.

(5)Arch weasel Trump okayed selling of F-15Q to Qatar, day before yesterday; Same number as that of Rafales that we have contracted from France, but at 25% higher price than what we have paid for Rafales (which included India specific upgrades and cost of setting up two bases). So your assertion that even USA is not going against KSA is fundamentally wrong.

you go and buy from qatar after they've cut diplomatic ties and then they won't have issues with you? 'KSA is only second biggest source of oil so we will **** with them and make up for it by buying oil from Iraq and Syria'

Since when has KSA been a monopoly supplier? They are only an important supplier, nothing else.

A moderate/sickular country is always better than a sunni radical KSA. We are just following our foreign policy, in fact we should rather provide free food to show our support to the people of Qatar. Kudos to MEA/GOI.

Wahhabi better than Salafist? Hmmm... tough call. I'm going with 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.
